Shadi Dayeh is working at the frontiers of #medicine and #engineering, including on potentially vision-restoring whole-eye transplants. But his earliest explorations took place in a sun-baked car repair shop and the sprawling vineyards of his hometown in Lebanon.

Researchers @ucsandiego.bsky.social are getting ready to shake a 10-story building to see how well it withstands #earthquakes! They are helping decide if height limits for cold-formed steel-framed buildings should increase from 6 to 10 stories.

This #robot doesn't need electronics to function--or walk! It's driven by a pneumatic circuit, similar to the mechanism that drives the engine of a steam locomotive. Once it's #3Dprinted, all the robot needs is a cartridge of compressed gas as a source of power.

Research breakthroughs—from lifesaving treatments to cutting-edge technology—are made possible with federal funding. But today, that funding is at risk. Without it, progress stalls.
